    Deuce: I just broke my primary fuel canister

    So I was kind of in a panic when I posted this, this truck can't be down, its on call 24/7 . I knew there was stuff out there available, just didnt know where . A quick run to Oreillys auto parts for a remote filter mount was a complete waste of time, they couldn't even show me anything they...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I attempted once again to remove the new family of stubborn and unusually sturdy wasps from the inside of the cab of my M931A2 . Here's a vid: It's a 100° here, I let that engine run at high idle for 15 20 min, as soon as I shut it down (I almost eradicated myself doing so) the wasps were...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    This guy has probably 500 vids, at least half of them are about the Deuce and how to troubleshoot and repair them .

    no brake fluid

    Fill it up with dot 5 silicone, if its leaking it'll let you know . When you fire it up I'd keep a fire extinguisher handy or a heavy book over a removed intake pipe in case it wants to run away from home . I'm a big fan of ATF in the fuel especially after sitting forever to lube things...

    M35A2 Front Axle Air Switch Question ...

    Hello all . I recently switched from a sprag style T-case to an air shifted case . Then I installed the air switch up under the dash where there has never been one before because this truck has had a sprang case all it's life . The in/out air lines on this switch are pretty small, much...

    Has the trans fluid debate been settled yet?

    Mine is full of Amsoil ATF, for two reasons ... 1- I got 4 or 5 gallons of it at a yard sale for 15 bucks . 2- it says right on the bottle that it is specifically for that Allison trans, does Allison know this ? I have no idea . I don't believe that using ATF is going to cause failure, but...

    M923A1 Transfer case rear output shaft seal

    I see no reason whatsoever to remove a million pound T-case just to change an output seal, just pull that rear dl out and get after it, you'll learn first hand that it's not that difficult . By the time you get done reading someone else's opinion of how to do it, you could almost be done .

    Air leak only while on gas pedal - intermittent

    I bet if you two got together one mornin for a coffee meet & greet, one of you could ride under the hood while the other drives around town and that hissing problem would be located and possibly repaired on the spot ! (Hope it's not a snake)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    @pitpawten Those are some good looking tires Btw, when you do your brake job try just putting a spray nozzle on a hose and using water to do your cleaning before you use the brake clean, you might be surprised how well it works .

    Please help me figure out what’s wrong

    75mph with short tires and 4.56 gears ? I dont think so Even with an overdrive you'd be at 3 grand plus on the tach 456s are some steep gears for short tires . I've had alot of rigs with 410s 456s and 513s, the last two not at all highway friendly with short tires and no overdrive, and...

    454 swap

    What do you mean by it sets too low, it's too low for the fan shroud or your oil pan is hitting the crossmember or what ?

    Transmission whining in 4th and 5th gear.

    Does it have oil in it ? Like, is it full of 90wt ? I ask because it sounds like you had someone else do the job, and if you want something done right it's important that you do it yourself . As far as the tire making a sound every rotation, that's not going to match the rotation of the...

    Clogged Up Catalytic Converter?

    If you have a turbo, then get rid of the cat and the muffler and let your engine live free . At least gut the cat for God's sake .
